English football has suffered several high-profile racism incidents in recent months. Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a banana thrown at him in December, an action that landed the fan responsible with a fine and a four-year ban from football.

When asked about racism in football following Thursday's game, Aubameyang said he was "really disappointed" about it.

"I had the same problem here against Tottenham," he added. "When you are black like me it is really painful, I think, because we are in 2019 and obviously it is not good for football in England. Hopefully we will find a way to kick it out."
